Sweet Heat

Most of the time, the hot, Texas heat just about kills me. But today I liked it. I was mad all day long. I don't even have a good reason, really. Danny and I went to eat at Maudie's, which was a nice change. We also watched Secret Window. I think the cinematography was excellent. Other than that, I wasn't blown away at all. The story was dull. I expected more. I always expect more.

I remember when I got my first Hungry, Hungry Hippo game when I was 4 or 5, I was furious that the hippos weren't animated like they were on television. I'm still mad about it. Talk about a reality check... Reality really does bite.

Anyway, I sat in the hot car waiting for Danny to make his rounds at a friend's house who's out of the country right now. The sun was shining in the windows and burning my skin, and I was glad. I even leaned into the sun, and it felt good. Maybe because the temperature outside matched my temperature inside.

Well, tomorrow's Monday, and it's back to the daily grind. It's exactly what I need.
